These rolls are JUST like the ones the cafeteria ladies make in the school lunch rooms! My 8-year-old daughter loves the cafeteria rolls and said my recipe was even better! You can't mess these up! They are super easy and everyone will want the recipe. We eat the leftovers for breakfast or put cheese and turkey in warmed rolls for a quick lunch!

Time 1h57m

Yield 22

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 cups warm water
1 tablespoon white sugar
⅔ cup white sugar
3 (.25 ounce) envelopes active dry yeast
¼ cup milk
2 eggs
1 tablespoon salt
10 cups all-purpose flour
¼ cup shortening
¼ cup butter, melted

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, mix together the warm water and 1 tablespoon sugar. Sprinkle the yeast over the top, and let it stand for about 10 minutes, until the yeast is foamy.
  • Mix the milk, eggs and salt into the yeast. Measure the flour into a separate bowl, add 2/3 cup sugar, and crumble the shortening into it using your fingers until it is barely noticeable. Gradually stir the flour into the wet ingredients. Mix using a wooden spoon until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl and starts to form a ball around the spoon. Cover with a hot wet towel that has been wrung out, and set in a warm place to rise until double in bulk. This should take about 45 minutes.
  • When the dough has risen, pour the melted butter over it, and knead for about 2 minutes. Let the dough rest for a few minutes, then roll out on a lightly floured surface to 1 inch thick. Use a knife to cut into 2 inch squares. Roll squares into balls, and place into greased round pans, spacing about 1 inch apart. Let rise again until doubled in size. You could also refrigerate the dough, and let it rise overnight for baking the next day.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Bake the rolls for about 12 minutes, until golden brown.

OLD SCHOOL HOUSE YEAST ROLLS



Old School House Yeast Rolls image

I wanted a really good yeast roll recipe I could put in the bread machine or mix in the mixer that turned out the very same every time. So, I "tweaked" and played until these happened. You'll have to :"tweak" to find the amount of flour for your brand of flour and environment. This recipe is best at 16 rolls. You can stretch it to maybe 20, but don't go any more than that or they lose their special texture. At meal time, place however many you need in the oven for 3 or 4 minutes or until they heat and crunch up again. You'll never know they were baked earlier. Be careful to whom you offer one of these or to where you take them. Once people are on to you, you're stuck. Skip making for a bake sale if you have any other favorite recipe you'd like to share.

Time 27m

Yield 16 rolls, 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 cups water
2 eggs
2 teaspoons salt
1/3 cup sugar (do NOT forget this or they won't brown correctly)
1/3 cup oil
5 1/2 cups flour
5 1/2 teaspoons yeast

Steps:

  • Either put in machine in proper order for your machine or throw it in the mixer with a dough hook.
  • Let it mix and knead for 10 minutes or so while you find something else to do. It should be soft, but not run out of your hand when you lift it from the bowl.
  • Cover with cloth and let double.
  • Place on floured board. I just cut it into 4 "equal" pieces and the cut those into another 4 each.
  • Spray or grease a large jelly roll pan or whatever you have about that size. Put the big ones on one end and the little ones on the other. Leave about 3/4" or so between the rolls.
  • Beware, your environment and oven could change these times.
  • Let raise again. Bake at 400 degrees about 9 minutes. Then I personally flip them onto another pan and bake upside down for another 3 minutes so the bottom is nice and crunchy also.
  • Store after cooling in a plastic bag or something, but make sure they are truly cool first. I put them in the freezer and then reheat them in the oven as we need them.
  • These things are truly one of a kind -- every time.

For those of us of the older generation. Can you remember how light and tasty the homemade rolls were that they served in the school cafeteria? Try these and let me know if you think they compare. This is a very versatile recipe and not complicated to make. Can't remember where the recipe came from but glad I found it. Like alot of recipes I come across no prep or cooking times are noted.
